[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand your hesitance. My DH and I are in a rough spot and when he goes for a few days or a week, I don't really miss him. I can't imagine 6 months. I might be lonely, but I don't think I'd miss him, and those are two different things.

6 months, though, is a long time to do all the "stuff" of a household without help. You might find yourself longing for your partner.

But I'm guessing you know yourself best, and you are worried you aren't going to miss him at all, and instead are going to really enjoy the time without him. Or am I projecting? I'd love if my husband got a 6 month stint overseas.

Nope.  He's frequently TDY, and I don't miss him, but I do get lonely.  And I'm really worried I'd enjoy him being gone too much.

I'm not looking to leave him.  Our life is secure, our child needs both of us, and I hold out hope that it will eventually change for the better.  But as religious as he is, there's no way he'll stay in a marriage  forever if his wife doesn't love him.  And yes, I want to.

(Yes, I've been to counseling, since I know those questions are coming).[/quote]

I think we might be in the exact same situation, except that my husband isn't going overseas for 6 months. I am also holding out hope that things will get better and I'll start to desire him again (and working at it. Slow going, though). [/quote]
